Synopsis

Beauty: The Making of a Custom Guitar (Wheatmark, 2020) was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2020 Tucson Festival of Books Literary Awards competition.

Beauty tells how a custom acoustic guitar came into being. In 2016, the author, John Warnock, was given by his wife an acoustic instrument — mandolin or guitar — to be made to his specifications. An email correspondence followed between the author and Vincent Guidroz, luthier and proprietor of the New Orleans Guitar Company.

The backbone of Beauty is that correspondence, put into context by the author, and illustrated by photographs showing the stages in the creation of the instrument. In Beauty, readers will meet a remarkable artist, Vincent Guidroz, learn fascinating technical details about guitar-making and the luthier's art, and experience the human story of the instrument's creation.
